Frequently Asked Questions About Lift Services in Alvaston

How often should a commercial lift be serviced in the UK?

Commercial lifts in the UK typically need servicing at least every 6 months, but high-traffic buildings (such as offices, hospitals, and retail spaces) may require more frequent maintenance.

Regular servicing ensures:

  • compliance with LOLER regulations
  • improved safety for passengers
  • reduced risk of costly breakdowns

At Bridge Lifts, we tailor maintenance schedules based on your lift usage, building type, and manufacturer requirements.

Need help staying compliant? Contact us today to arrange a maintenance plan.

 
What is a LOLER inspection and is it legally required?

A LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspection is a legal requirement in the UK for all lifts used in workplaces or public buildings.

It must be carried out:

  • every 6 months for passenger lifts
  • every 12 months for some goods lifts

Failing to comply can result in:

  • fines
  • invalid insurance
  • serious safety risks

We can coordinate your LOLER inspections alongside your maintenance contract to keep everything compliant and stress-free.

"Our goods lift is well over 30 years old and was giving us lots of problems, which were causing major issues with our production, as this is a major part of our production system. Bridge Lifts quoted a very reasonable price for a full refurbishment of the lift, which was carried out on time with minimum disruption to our production, in a very professional manner and to a very high standard. We have now been running the lift for over 9 months with no issues. We are very delighted with the lift and have put Bridge lifts on a maintenance contract for ongoing service and maintenance of this lift".
